“Thanks Tarah for Ranger’s visit. Sounds like he had a wonderful adventure filled visit. He was definitely tired but happy when we picked him up. We would love to have you watch him again!”
“Dean was great to work with and an excellent communicator. We got updates throughout the visit, including beautiful walk photos with the mountains in the back. Anytime we’re back in telluride with Robin we would love to have Dean watch her again!”
“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”
“Becca was great! Very responsive in communications, and very understanding of our unique Emmitt. It was a great match, and Emmitt and Kodak are now BFFs. I won't hesitate to use Becca in the future.”
“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”
“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”
“Sarah boarded my cat for two weeks. She was so good with my typically skittish and stranger-shy cat. My cat was very relaxed when I picked her up. Sarah sent pictures and updates throughout her stay and was so easy to communicate and coordinate with.”
“Sierra was hands down the best sitter my two super active have ever had, and over a hard to book holiday weekend. My younger dog can be a little sensitive but warmed up to her immediately, and both got plenty of activity in and were clearly well cared for”
“Alaina was great! She was able to help us out while we were visiting Telluride with a last minute booking. She took our dog with her everywhere. Kya had a chill day and made some friends and had a lovely walk around Mountain Village. Thanks Alaina!!”
“Bria is incredible! We hired her to help with a photoshoot (thanks again for helping us with an out of the box request!), and we are so thankful we did. It’s rare to get the chance to watch a sitter interact with your dog before trusting them, but Mia felt completely at ease with Bria from the moment they met. The constant wags said it all! Mia is a rescue and can be selective about the people she trusts, so seeing her instantly connect with Bria meant everything to us. Bria was calm, patient, and so kind with her. AND she knew exactly how to get her attention for the camera. I can’t recommend Bria highly enough. If you’re looking for someone in Telluride to care for your pup, look no further!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs from small to big dogs and have stayed in a lot of homes and never had any issues. I'm working full time , so occasional drop ins to let them out and feed them when I can and then being able to stay the night will help my routine. I always try to keep my home clean and safe for all people and pets and leave my the house I'm staying in better than when I got there.
“Bently had a great stay with Jack! Drop off and pick up were very smooth and I received lots of pictures. Bently had just started Prednisone and Jack gave him the medication and paid close attention to his well-being. Great communication and Bently would love to stay again if we're ever back in the area!”
“Courtney is an amazing pet sitter! I reached out to her just a few days before we were headed out of town and she was able to accommodate my request. She provided daily updates, loved on our pup, took him out for lots of activity and went above and beyond to provide the best care to him. I would highly recommend Courtney to care for your animal. She is a wonderful person.”
“Ava was great with Dixie and did an awesome job of staying in communication with me as she was watching her! She stepped up when I needed daycare last second which was super clutch. Would definitely book again :)”
“Molly took great care of my dog. They went on plenty of walks, hikes, and water trips. Very great communication and updates. Highly recommend using Molly to take great care of your dog while in Telluride!”
About: I have a soft spot for animals and love to play!! I've had pets my entire life and can help yours have a more active lifestyle. I'm willing to take long hikes on the trails, short walks around town, play ball at your place or just spend quality time with senior pets. I'm known for my integrity and dependability. I understand pets are like children to most people and will treat them as such.Great local references. I live and work full time in Ouray. I work at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool Friday through Monday 6am to 4pm. I can house/pet sit 7 days a week. When staying in someone's home I follow the lists/guidelines exactly as the homeowner wishes. I don't plan other things while sitting. Watching/ entertaining and caring for your home and pet is my job around the clock. I can provide a long list of local references if desired.
“Nichole is a wonderful sitter!! We boarded our white Golden Retriever, Kodiak with her while we were at Wanderlust Squaw and got wonderful photos back from her! It was like leaving your dog with a professional photographer. Some of the photos we got back we are framing:) She is a kind and patient sitter and you can tell she really LOVES dogs. She also has a white Golden Retriever ("English Cream") and the two pups got along famously! We'll be using her services again if we are up that way!!”

About: I have experience taking care of my own cats and others since I was young. I am good with cats of all kinds and I find it incredibly important to respect their space and go at their pace. I've had great success with getting shy or aggressive cats to open up and become comfortable with me. I have never taken care of a hairless cat but I would love to meet one and learn the unique aspects of their care as well.
About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental overnight, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.
About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of animals for the entirety of my life. I know telluride having lived here 10 years and would gladly explore the area with your pet. I for the most part am working only on weekends, thus, just about every weekday I am free to to work on rover. Telluride is home. I have a home with a small fenced in yard. No crate, nor do I want to care for a dog that needs to be in a crate.
About: I was raised on a small farm in southeast Georgia which allowed me to gain experience with many different animals - including dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, ducks, goats, & horses! I’m passionate about health and wellness and am in the process of becoming a women’s health coach. I am available for dog walking and housesitting opportunities and my schedule can be somewhat flexible, depending on what kind of care you are looking for! In addition to providing excellent pet care, I have some availability to housesit which includes the following services: Taking pets for walks/hikes and engaging in playtime activities, collecting mail, & watering house plants/garden space. I currently work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, hikes, and engage in play with your pups, and other furry pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort is top priority! Before showing up to a sit I prefer to meet in person to build trust and make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Kerrin was great and I highly recommend her. She was very flexible and responsive to Archie's needs and sent me pictures. Archie can be barky at a new place at first and Kerrin was very understanding. I could tell Archie had a great time as he just slept when we got home. Thanks, Kerrin”
“We had a great experience with Sierra. Very happy puppy and easy to coordinate and work with Sierra. I would definitely use her again and recommend her Telluride k9 adventure school.”
“Becca was great! Will definitely be using her next time we are in town. Our dog was able to play with hers and relax outside throughout the day. He did not want to leave his new friend when we picked him up. Would 100% recommend!”
“Dean was fantastic with our 11 month old Bernedoodle, Patti Mayonnaise! She’s quite the adventurous dog, but Dean gave her all the walks and love she needed. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and kept us connected with tons of photos and videos. He even saved the day by providing a harness and poop bags when we realized we had left ours behind. We highly appreciate his care and will definitely be reaching out to Dean every time we visit Telluride!”
“Jenny was very accommodating about drop off and pick up time. She communicated promptly in setting up the day care. She sent pictures of Lefty having fun and playing throughout the day. He obviously had a great time with Jenny, her dog Luna, and guest dog Reuben. I highly recommend Jenny and would bring Lefty back to her any time I'm in the area. Thanks Jenny!”
“Carole was perfect for our pup. She got down on the ground with her when we arrived and left, and sent pics throughout the day. If I find myself in Durango again, I’ll definitely use her!”

“Our dogs seemed to like Jackson right away. He was very accommodating and willing to meet us at a convenient location. The dogs were just fine and happy when we picked them up.”
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

About: I'd love to give your pets the royal treatment while you are away! I have had dogs (and cats) all my life, and have cared for many breeds of all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I have also volunteered with a local animal shelter, spending several hours a week caring for sweet pets looking for homes. I dog and cat sit for friends and neighbors, and have recommendations if needed! I work remotely so I'm typically very available to take care of your furry ones! I'm very active and love taking dogs for walks, hikes or runs. I'm happy to follow whatever processes and instructions you provide for your loved furry ones! I am flexible and want your pups and kitties to be as happy and comfortable as possible!

“Daisy and Max were so lucky to have Sierra looking out for them! She takes them on hikes, gives them lots of love, and her dog, Aspen, is super cute. Daisy and Aspen wore each other out. We feel super good leaving the pups with Sierra. We know they are in good hands!”

About: I have a soft spot for animals and love to play!! I've had pets my entire life and can help yours have a more active lifestyle.

About: Hi! I'm Allie, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away. As a dog owner myself, I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet like they're part of the family and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have my own dog, so I'm very familiar with the daily routines, exercise, patience, and attention that go into keeping pets happy and healthy. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! During the week I work in an office downtown full time. I have a flexible work schedule if i need to make a lunch stop! Otherwise available before and after work and on the weekends! I make sure the home stays tidy and clean so pets don't get into anything they shouldn't. If i'm just taking them on walks, I make sure to know how they interact with other dogs and animals. Having a dog myself, it's ideal for me to watch your dog at my house that has a huge fenced in yard if your dog is friendly with other dogs. But i am flexible to stay at your place as well!
